As for seeing what citations others have added to their database, I don't think it can do that. Hmm, I thought you were able to add references based on DOI, but I guess not. Some (including ACS journals) give the option to download the RefWorks citation from the abstract, just as you can with Endnote. So the advantage of this for me is not having to use something web-based AND endnote. Though I agree, this has some nice features... I'll consider it.

It would be nice to restrict to chemistry journals. That's probably a bit of work though. Nice work. It would be nice to restrict to chemistry journals. That’s probably a bit of work though.

I agree it is hard to change after you already have a database. If you can import your RefWorks database to endnote, see what citations others have added to their database, there may be no point. Connotea also has the nice advantage that all you have to supply is the doi and it'll look up the title/authors/journal and all that other good stuff. Is it possible for me to read through your RefWorks submissions? I’ve never heard of RefWorks before. I agree it is hard to change after you already have a database.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with it, but are there any other advantages (aside from this HotCites site) that Connotea might have over RefWorks? Just seems like it wouldn't make sense for me to actively try and use both. My university subscribes to RefWorks, so I have an account there.
